Permanent Hair Removal for All Hair Colours and Skin Types
Unwanted hair can be frustrating, time-consuming and, for many people, a source of ongoing self-consciousness. While laser hair removal has transformed the way we manage unwanted hair, it does have limitations. Certain hair colours and hair types simply cannot be effectively targeted by laser technology.
Electrolysis offers a solution!
Recognised as the only proven method of permanent hair removal, electrolysis permanently destroys the cells responsible for hair growth, making it suitable for all skin tones and all hair colours, including blonde, grey, white and red hairs.
At Skin, we have invested in the Apilus xCell Pur by Dectro, one of the world's most advanced electrolysis systems, allowing us to deliver faster, more comfortable and more precise treatments than traditional electrolysis devices.

What Is Electrolysis?Electrolysis, also known as electroepilation, is a highly specialised treatment designed to permanently eliminate unwanted hair.
Using a tiny sterile probe inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle, a precise electrical current is delivered to the base of the follicle, permanently destroying the cells responsible for future hair growth. Unlike laser hair removal, which targets pigment within the hair, electrolysis treats the follicle itself. This means it can effectively remove hairs regardless of colour, thickness or skin type. Once a follicle has been successfully treated, it can no longer produce a hair. |

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
This is one of the most common questions we receive.
The honest answer is that there is no one-size-fits-all answer.
Hair growth is highly individual and influenced by factors including:
Because hair grows in cycles, not every follicle is active at the same time.
For this reason, multiple treatments are required to progressively target hairs as they enter their active growth phase.
Most clients require a series of treatments to achieve satisfactory clearance, with treatment plans tailored to each individual's needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is electrolysis permanent?
Yes. Electrolysis is recognised as the only proven method of permanent hair removal. Once a follicle has been successfully treated, it can no longer produce a hair.
How is electrolysis different from laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction and relies on pigment within the hair shaft. Electrolysis treats the follicle directly and can permanently remove hairs of any colour.
Can electrolysis treat grey, blonde or white hairs?
Yes. This is one of the major advantages of electrolysis. Unlike laser, electrolysis is effective on grey, white, blonde and red hairs.
Is electrolysis safe?
When performed by a trained professional using appropriate techniques, electrolysis is considered a safe and effective treatment for permanent hair removal.
Can electrolysis help with PCOS-related hair growth?
Electrolysis can permanently remove existing unwanted hairs associated with hormonal conditions such as PCOS. However, ongoing hormonal changes may stimulate new follicles over time, meaning maintenance treatments may occasionally be required.
Do I need to stop waxing or tweezing?
Yes. Waxing, tweezing and threading remove the hair needed for treatment. Shaving is permitted between sessions.
Can I have a consultation and treatment on the same day?
In many cases, yes. Our team can discuss appointment options when booking.
